sicl,t and Smell OF Birds.

A hawk can spy u lark upon piece OF
earth almost exactly the same color ut
twenty times the distance it is perceptible
to man or dog; kite soaring out of hui
man sight can still distinguish and pounce
upon lizards and field mice on the ground;
and the distance at which vulturcs and
eagles can spy out their prey is almost
incredible. Recent discoveries, and es-
pecially Darwin's observations, have
inclined naturalists to the belief that
birds of prey have not the acute
sense of smell with which they were once
accredited Their acute sight seems bet
ter to account for their actions, and they
appear to be guided by sight alone, us
they never sniff Mt anything, but dart
straight at the object of their desire.
Their countcrparts in the ocean, however,
undoubtedly see and smell equally well,
but are more guided by smell than sight.

A STORY of KaIser Williarn.

The story runs that Kaiser William,
while he was still crown prince and O
dashing young officer, entered the Cursaal
at Ems, wearing an oyercoat which con-
cealed his brilliant uniform, and, mp
preaching the crowded table, placed there-
on coin of small value, about 81. With
a contemptuous gesture the banker
tossed the coin upon tho floor, with the
remark, "For the croupier," Again the
unknown gentleman threw down a coin
and lost, the banker repeating his action
and words, to the amusement Of the other
players. It was then, as now, the custom
of tho banks to set aside certain sun,
each day, and put up a notice of the
amount, beyond which they could not
play. If their losses amounted to this
sum, the bank must close.
William glanced at this notice-2O0, ,0OO
francs-quietly remarking that he would
play for the whole bank. "Who are
yous'' exclaimed the dealer with sudden
respect. For reply the future emperor OF
Germany then opened his coat, displaying
the imperial star upon his breast. The
cards were dealt, the prince won, and the
bank was broken. Taking up the enorm.
Gus sum, he deliberately dashed 1t on the
floor, exclaiming, tFor the croupierF

Cleveland Forbids Liquor Selling.

a committee of the w. c. T. u. Of
Washington city, waited upon President
Cleveland on Friday, and asked him to
prevent the sale of liquor upon the
national drill grounds during the national
drill next week. The president in con-
formity with this request sent letter to
the district commissioner, opposing the
issue OF licenses, and as liquor can only
be sold on government property by per-
mission of the United States authorities,
the presidents letter acts as prohibitory
order, and the licenses were refused.

pisinfecting Rooms.

Drs. Guttman md Merke, of the city
hospital Moabit, in Berlin, have made an
investigation as to the relative value Of
various methods Of disinfecting inhabited
rooms. The main points kept in view in
the inquiry were that satisfactory
method should destroy the vitality Of
bacteria, should not injure the house or
furniture, should not be dangerous to the
health of the person in the house or of the
person applying it, should involve the
least possible labor in its use and be as
cheap as possible. The bacillus autrax
was taken as the test organism and was
dried in silk tibres and scattered through
the room, on the rugs, etc. Distinction
was attempted by rubbing the floors,
ceilings and walls with disinfectant fluids
and by spraying the same on the rugs, etc.
The solutions experimental with were n
per cent. solution OF carbolic acid, and
solutions of bichloride of mercury of
various strengths. Their conclusion IS
that solution of bichloride of mercury,
to 1000, used rs n wash and spray, is
the most certain, the cheapest and in all
respects the best for disinfccting inhabited

therefore, astonished them. They threw
the paper out and set a leather satchel in
the dishpan, and in few minutes the
satchel began to smoke, and would have

well known to the editor called Mt the
office the day prior to its publication. He
had Just arrived from the west, where he
had passed many years in Indian warfare.

Julian Hawthorne's Opinions Concerning
the Care Of the Body.Treatment Of
the stomach-Keeplng the Skin Clean.
Out Door Air.Breathing.
You can improve your physical health
and strength several hundred per cent.
without ever touching q club or q, dumb
bell or pulling q weight. In fact, gymna-
siums often do harm, for two reasons:
first, because of the confined air; Sec
ondly, because those who attend them do
not know what sort of work is best suited
to them and are apt to overdo the work
they undertake, thereby distorting them
selves and sapping their vitality, an ounce
of which is worth q ton of "muscle" In
the long run. Too much muscle will
shorten your life; but vitality is life itself.
The stomach, the skin and the lungs are
the three essential things in human be-
ing. So long as they are In perfect order,
the finest professional gymnast can have
little to-: teach you. To keep them in
sgood condition, no gymnasium OF gymnas-
tic apparatus is required; still less any
pepsin pills or sersapnilla. You can do
it all yourself, without altering your busi-
ness or domestic habits, or putting your
self to any inconvenience. Quite the con-
trary. But it is extraordinary, the in,
genuity some people show; when the
choice is offered them between two things
or courses, one healthy, the other un-
healthy, but both equally available or
easy-the diabolcal certainty, say, with
which they fix upon that which is un-
healthy. Whatever the metaphysical
